STRIKE LEADERS JAILED

ABINGDON - A federal judge sent three leaders of a coal miners' strike to jail Monday for violating a ban on blocking Pittston Coal Group trucks in passive sit-down demonstrations.

U.S. District Judge Glen Williams, escalating a judicial crackdown on the civil disobedience tactics of the United Mine Workers union, found the three guilty of contempt of court and said they will remain in jail until they can assure him the strike restrictions will be followed.

"The strike will continue," Marty Hudson, the main strike coordinator, vowed as he was led away from the courthouse in handcuffs and leg irons along with Jackie Stump, the regional UMW president, and C.A. Phillips, a UMW-International representative.
